Thanks for clarifying that. I thought there was nothing really  
"protecting" cookies from being read and was wondering if was left to  
the browser to handle security.

Now I may have to go take another look at Tiger's new permissions  
scheme and see if there's a way to limit Read status of a file not  
only to a given user, but also to a specific program or programs. I  
probably wouldn't worry about using it, just like to know what can be  
done.
